With 2020 NFL training camps approaching, we’re ready for some true football to enter our lives once again. It might look a little different in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but there’s one aspect of football that even that unfortunate situation cannot harm. Fantasy football.
Heading into 2020, the Buffalo Bills look a little different in terms of fantasy football. Their offense finally has a guy that has many drooling on their keyboards putting their fantasy rosters together.
The one guy that continues to get praise for his fantasy football prowess is quarterback Josh Allen. The dual-threat playmaker continued to get more of it this week, even from Pro Football Focus.
Naming 10 players with a “high-floor” in terms of their value, Allen listed at No.5 overall in this list. Here’s the PFF breakdown on Allen:
In fantasy football, Allen is a fairly consistent performer thanks to his legs. Not counting his Week 17 exit for rest reasons, Allen scored more than 14 points in 13 of his 15 games — eight of which went for over 20 points.
Allen’s rushing forte and the addition of Stefon Diggs to the offense should maintain his fantasy floor for the 2020 season. Some cite his scrambling as an issue that may need to be fixed to be a successful NFL quarterback. This is a fair concern, but with Diggs stretching the field with his 15.6 aDOT, Allen will likely see more opportunities to run the ball.
With another playmaker at his disposal, there’s no reason to believe Allen won’t have a successful 2020 in terms of fantasy football. His ability to get into the end zone with his feet really helps his value. The Bills appreciate that on the field too, but the Diggs addition is going to be most intriguing and the jury is still out. Does Diggs’ deep-threat abilities help Allen’s deep ball?
The quarterback has to prove this scenario to be true on the field during the upcoming season. Recent wide receiver rankings prove that as well. Diggs, undoubtedly a No.1 wide receiver talent, only ranked as the 35th best wide receiver for fantasy football recently by ESPN, despite his actual talents.
